performances of professional skills and yieldsdocumentation of individual student achievement important to assignment of grades and toprogram accreditation.IntroductionEngineering grand challenges confronting the global community call for engineers to workacross cultures, adapt to change, innovate, and develop solutions that are sensitive to a broad setof technical, business, and social constraints 1, 2. This requires a comprehensive set ofprofessional skills in addition to technical engineering competence 3-7. Among the professionalskills needed by engineers of the twenty-first century are abilities to: work with diverse teams,demonstrate professional and ethical responsibility, and engage in self-directed learning thatenables adaptability and leads
), humility (pride), kindness (envy), patience (wrath), and temperance (gluttony).The virtues form a bridge between the individual and the community because they regulate howthe individual should behave toward the others in the community. For example, charity andgreed describe how one should treat resources, either sharing them with others or hoarding themfrom others. Chastity and lust describe intimacy between the individual and others, particularlysexual intimacy, though not limited to this aspect.The virtues thus appear to be a valuable tool to explore the relationship of the entrepreneur asindividual and the entrepreneur at the nexus of a community network. Although their primarypurpose is to encourage ethical and moral behavior (and we do not

determine most of the ethical costs and benefits.Everything is designed but not everything is designed well, and the sheer volume has nowbecome critical.According to a recent analysis in the Economist,1 most of the economic activity in human historyhas taken place in the 19th and 20th centuries. The world population has grown 10-fold since1811 and when the growth of per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is factored in, the resultsare even more remarkable. “Over 23% of all the goods and services made since 1AD wereproduced from 2001 to 2010, ...” That is, almost a fourth of all the goods and services producedin the last 2,000 years were produced in the last 10 years. It is hard to believe that thisexponential growth has a very long future, even if
voice of customers and documenting their requirementsQFD begins with collecting the customer voices and incorporating them into the HOQ.An extensive online search for jobs related to manufacturing engineering were collectedusing websites such as yahoojobs.com, monster.com, careerbuilder.com. Thus obtainedjob descriptions were classified into knowledge, skills and working ethics as shown inTable 1. The data collected from these websites served as the base for externalcustomers’ voice which helped to initiate the HOQ for external customers. Table1.

groups.ConclusionsEngineering’s past history for invention of both products and processes has served this countrywell for over two hundred years but the recent confluence of events is suggesting that theengineering profession can, and should, do more. Hallmarks of these changes will hopefully benot only increased invention but also the implementation of that invention, or innovation.Successful innovation requires leadership, and, in perhaps a biased view, that leadership shouldcome from engineers whom have the technical insight and ethical courage to solve the grandchallenges facing this planet for the benefit of all her inhabitants. We can no longer leave ourfate entirely in the hands of those that are often non-technically educated. Engineers must takeleadership roles
course sequence thatwas introduced in the 2009-10 year.3. Course DevelopmentHistorically, the EAS 101 syllabus followed a traditional set of topics, such as problem solvingand data presentation. Rudimentary coverage of mechanical systems, electric circuits, fluidmechanics, thermodynamics, and statistics was provided. Other subjects included someprinciples of design, engineering economics, ethics, and a very short MATLAB tutorial. The CSprogramming course was devoted exclusively to teaching the fundamentals of computerprogramming, with UNIX serving as the development environment. These courses exhibited anumber of deficiencies for prospective ECE students: ● For those who were still undecided about engineering as a career path, the EAS and CS

"resource acquisition" as a top priority. The Senior Design Project Class, which isa two-semester long course, with a total of four credit hours, can be viewed as a servicelearning class, depending upon the project chosen by the select student group. It doescontain a substantial amount of education about ethics, ergonomics, economics, sociologyand liberal education principles, in addition to rigorous engineering subject matter. Thestudent groups are encouraged to appreciate the realities of socio-economic impact oftheir chosen project. In many cases, the project will have to be addressed with a strongwill to succeed and necessarily require coalitions of volunteerism, industry sponsoredfunding and donated resources.

This student is information rich, technologysavvy, and must be trained to address the consequences of globalization. Thus, the education wereceived as students may not be the best way to approach this group. To this end, we haveperformed research on engineering ethics, the use of social networking, and video learning in aneffort to address the new skill set and resources available to our students

Today, Diversity 3.0 is about business integration and globalization...and, ultimately, producing increased employee productivity and new revenue streams. 27Whether competitive anxiety is the basis of diversity reform efforts, or invoked by diversityadvocates because they believe it to be so for corporate leaders and economic policy makers, it isnonetheless a priority which subordinates inclusion to performance and productivity.

with the Third Street Community Center’s after school program, which has a science andengineering focus.The students who enroll in the Renewable Energy Engineering class are passionate about makinga difference in society through engineering. One purpose of the service learning project is tobuild on this passion, giving them a tangible way to get involved while they are students. Theproject fosters an ethic of civic engagement among the engineering students. This engagementwith the community should enhance their engagement with learning and increase their dedicationto engineering.13 The positive effects of integrating service-learning in the curriculum includeimproved retention and graduation rates particularly among underrepresented groups

The three scenarios deal with a TA who is beingoverworked during office hours and via emailed questions, a student offering a bribe, and teammembers not working well together. There are generally six groups, so two groups discuss eachscenario. Each group records their thoughts on large sheets of paper, which are then attached tothe wall. One group explains
